Xin Nian Kua Le.. Hong Bao Na Lai! :)

its tt time of the year again.. where we get to meet all the relatives tt we probably see like twice a year or sth.. and of course, where kiddos get to line their wallets with the extra cash :) yay..

but this year has been rather busy. reunion dinner was at my place, so yeah, naturally, it would be extremely crowded and i've to help out. and tt's after i went over to my paternal side to have reunion dinner first.. :/ but it was lotsa fun and games with my cousins after tt cuz she brought so many games! over the span of 2 days, we played BANG, Settlers of Catan, Super Munchkins, Taboo and the usual variety of card games like Big Two and bridge.. haha.

over at my dad's side, it was some serious black jack. but gee, i have no luck this year.. on CNY itself, i barely made like $4, not the $14 i initially thought i made.. :( well well, at least it wasn't a lost.. and i ate a lot.. love my granny's salted vege duck soup and her curry!! yummyyummy, i feel well fed.. :)

then it was all fun and games w my other cousins at my other grandma's place, with many blunders from my cousins tt made for a good laugh. the 2 youngsters were sooo hyper! TSKTSK.

after minimal rest, i went to chi's place today. wah, tiredness man.. mahjong was -ok-. i wasn't thinking but yeah since there's no money involved.. its too tiring to use any brains. then visited a grumpy and nauseous cm in the hospital. think he should be ready for discharge soon! :) then it was a mad rush to my aunt's place for yet another good meal. really delicious and nutritious soup and curry again. way too much food, fish, prawns etc etc. haha. and then it was back to black jack again. boo, my uncle sucked all my money away.. gee, i lost like$16? sighs! bad luck... GRR.

and yes, no photos this post! WOW. Have a happy new year guys.. hope u guys got some money and had fun
